REV. ELWOOD S. SHELLY
Sympathy is extended to Rev. Paul Shelly upon the death of his father, Rev. Elwood S. Shelly, who passed away Tues­day, Oct. 19, 1949. Rev. El­wood Shelly, a Mennonite min­ister, held pastorates in Penn­sylvania churches for nearly 35 years, until he became blind in 1938. For the past year he had been a complete invalid. At the time of this printing, no definite funeral arrange­ments have been made.
May Be Added To Bluffton’s Curriculum
A department of Elementary Teacher Education is hoped to be added by the fall term of 1950, Dean Schultz revealed.
Dr. Ramseyer and Dr. Schultz met with Clyde Hissong, State Director of Education and Harold Bowers, Director of Teacher Education and I Certification, to talk over further steps of this program yesterday.
New Teacher
A schedule of courses will be pre­pared and will be submitted to these two men for approval. It will be necessary to add one new teacher to the staff. The most likely prospect for this position is Miss Ada Lapp, from Sterling, Illinois.
There are approximately 15 stu­dents at present who desire this field. The addition of this department may slightly increase the enrollment.
